Research and eventual production of solar powered fridges for the developing countries

Objective



To develop a low cost fridge made out of recyclable plastic. The cabinet construction to be non-rusting and virtually ever-lasting in any conditions. The design would be a low cost basic design for mass production and particularly aimed at developing Countries.
The fridge will be designed to have a purpose built battery which will then have sufficient power to maintain its charge from solar energy. The exploitation potential is substantial since in developing Countries the cost of conventional products and the necessary power supply infra-structure is way beyond the means of the majority of the population and their Governments.
The proposal also includes research into the elimination of any potential environmentally harmful effects.
